You’ll remember back in December last year, Albania held their national final process Festivali I Kenges, where Eneda Tarifa won with song Përrallë. If you would like to read more about the selection process, click here, where you will find an overview of the show.
Since then, it was confirmed that Albania would not be represented by a song in Albanian, and that it would be revamped into an English version for Eurovision. The song is now called Fairytale, and was written by Olsa Toqi.
About Eneda:
Eneda Tarifa was born in 1982, and since the age of 6 has demonstrated a keen interest for music by taking part in different activities during her schooling years. In later years, she studied philosophy and sociology.
During her career as a music artist, she has taken part in many concerts and events since 2004. One of her biggest achievements was winning the top prize in the popular competition Top Fest with the song Me Veten, which then became a hit in Albania and Kosovo.
